In what situations in port (or at a port anchorage) might SOLAS regulation XI-2/8.1 on master’s discretion for ship safety and security apply?

Where, for example, a master considers it prudent, against the advice of the Company Security Officer, for example: (1) to switch off AIS at a particular anchorage; (2) to search personnel, or their baggage, or to deny their access to the ship; (3) to refuse to load a certain container or item of cargo until it has been searched.

    Does any person or organisation have the right to overrule the master’s decisions relating to the safety and security of the ship?
